Chinese seafarers are suffering from its impact. Some manning companies have lost contracts to send crews to ships after old contracts expired. A small company said that it has not sent seafarers for two months. However, many manning companies are taking precautions to prevent their crews from getting SARS, using methods such as to quarantine a team of seafarers in a hotel for two weeks before they are dispatched. It increases the cost, but makes employers confident of SARS prevention on their ships. On the other side, the transit of the seafarers is also affected by SARS, with at least one country refusing to transit Chinese seafarers once. Some Chinese seafarers have not been allowed shore leave when the ships arrived in some ports, even though the ships have not been in China for half a year. As a manpower supplying country for the international maritime industry, manning companies and Chinese seafarers are very concerned about the health of seafarers. They are taking measures to eradicate SARS from their business, and to reduce its negative impact. They hope this tough period will be over very soon.

Many colleagues will concur with me that WMU was more than just another place to study; not only sizeable enough to give one unlimited access to the latest ideas in the maritime field and excellent teaching from world maritime experts, but also providing unequaled avenues to mix with people from all corners of the world, making it easier to build working relationships that would be impossible in a larger place. Almost two years since the inauguration ceremony of the WMU Japan Sasakawa Fellows Forum held in Tokyo, where over 100 WMU graduates from 28 countries participated, the establishment of the Philippine Chapter is a challenge to the formation of regional networks we promised during the meeting. These networks shall provide an avenue for not only exchanging information regarding maritime affairs but also serving as a platform to offer straightforward opinions. Today, despite all the privileges bestowed on us by The Nippon Foundation in conjunction with Ship & Ocean Foundation, I believe there are not a small number of fellows working on a part-time basis or still unemployed. This has been either due to the unwillingness by respective governmental structures, shipping companies and related agencies to engage seriously in maritime affairs or due to socio- economic problems, especially in the developing countries. This, I strongly believe, is one amongst many issues to be addressed. I am therefore appealing to all readers through this magnificent Newsletter to kindly save the world from wasting the untapped potential and give opportunities to under-utilized talents! I further propose that copies of this informative Newsletter should be distributed to the major decision-makers of governmental ministries dealing with maritime issues, shipping companies and agencies in all maritime nations so as to enlighten them on current maritime developments and of course the potential of WMU Sasakawa Fellows.
